Human papillomavirus (HPV) is classified into high-risk HPV (HR-HPV)
and HPV (LR-HPV) according to their oncogenic potential. These viruses
can be found in the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus and in the ENT sphere. HPV
ENT infections can lead to benign or malignant tumors in which we could
find both LR-HPV and HR-HPV genotypes. The objective o(...)

Impact de l'activité d'orpaillage sur la structuration des macroinvertébrés dans le bassin du Nakanbé au Burkina Faso (Afrique de l'Ouest)
Idrissa KABORE , Bancé Victor, Tampo Lallébila, and Ouéda Adama
Le réchauffement climatique sans précédent constaté au cours des dernières décennies
combinées à l’intensification des pratiques agricoles, l’urbanisation, l’industrialisation et
l’essor des activités d’orpaillage ont exacerbé les pressions sur les écosystèmes d’eau douce,
en particulier des rivières. Ainsi, au Burkina Faso, la dégradati(...)

TRAORE Oumar, KIENDREBEOGO Celestin, DEMBELE René , OUEDRAOGO Nafissatou, SETSOAFIA SABA Courage Kosi and BARRO Nicolas
The water used in the city of Ouagadougou for vegetables irrigation is often of questionable
quality and can pose a public health threat to the population. The objectives of the present study
were to estimate the concentration of microorganisms and physicochemical parameters in water
used for irrigation. Water samples from three sites we(...)

Genotype and irrigation regime interaction on agronomic traits of irrigated rice varieties cultivated in Burkina Faso
Dominique Nikiéma, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Adjima Ouoba, Yapi Issoufou Sinaré, Mamadou Laho Barry, Moussa Sié
Water scarcity is the main obstacle to rice production in Burkina Faso. This study evaluated the effects of water regime and genotype on morpho-agronomic parameters of rice varieties and their water use efficiency. During two consecutive years, 20 rice varieties were subjected to three irrigation regimes: sprinkler, drip and submersion (contro(...)
